TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR COMPANY.

We operate our business out of our living room; therefore, we simply do not have room to stock all our charm selections. Our company is run similar to a "home show" [Tupperware, Pampered Chef, etc.] ~ We receive orders from customers, collect payment, and then order the necessary items from the 8 different distributors that we do business with. Occasionally we will have a few items in stock, left over from a previous sale. But generally we will need to order them.

HOW DO I PLACE AN ORDER?

There is no online ordering available for charms on this website. Therefore, please email or fax us your order so we can calculate S/H/I. Be sure to include shipping and payment information. Orders cannot be processed without this information. We will respond with a total amount due. Please note that in order to avoid increasing our shipping and handling fees, due to high PayPal commissions; we no longer accept Paypal payments for orders over $100. CHECKS AND MONEY ORDERS SHOULD BE MADE PAYABLE TO ANGELIC IMPRESSIONS (not to Simply Charming or Sally Jo Oliver).

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY ORDER?

Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery after receipt of order confirmation and payment. Some backordered items may take longer, depending upon availability from our suppliers.

 

WHAT IF I DID NOT RECEIVE MY ORDER BY THE DATE I NEED THEM?

As indicated in several places throughout this website, we do not stock the charms that we offer ~ we order them as WE receive orders for them. We do not guarantee delivery of any shipment by a customer's own personal deadline. Our delivery timeline is 2-3 weeks; however, sometimes items are backordered. This is beyond our control, as we order from so many different suppliers all over the United States.

If you need your order by a certain date, it is STRONGLY suggested that you place your order with us at least 6-8 weeks BEFORE your activity date. This should allow sufficient time to get the charms to you in case the supplier backorders something. IF YOU DO NOT place your order at least six weeks in advance and your items will not or did not get to you in time for your scheduled event ~ there will be a 45% return/re-stocking fee. Why? [read on...]


..Because we have to pay for these charms upfront with our suppliers. If we return them to the company and they are not damaged in any way, they charge us a return fee. You, the customer, must pay that fee plus return shipping fees. We simply are not a big enough company to incur these types of expenses due to the fact that you did not place your order at least six weeks in advance. You are responsible for being aware of this policy. It is here for your review BEFORE you

place your order. If you did not take the time to familiarize yourself with the policies of our company BEFORE you placed your order, that is your responsibility. There are absolutely NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY PACKAGE IS LOST OR DAMAGED IN TRANSIT?

We do not automatically replace items lost or damaged by the U.S. Postal Service.

 

If an item is lost or damaged in transit, we will work directly with the buyer and the United States Post Office in order to file an insurance claim. This cannot be done until 30 days after mailing (USPS Policy).   (NOTE): Due to the size of our business and the manner in which we process orders, Angelic Impressions is not in a position to automatically replace lost or damaged items until after the insurance claim is filed with the USPS and monies have been collected.

 

*It is the buyer´s responsibility to familiarize themselves with our policies regarding returns, shipping fees, and lost and damaged items prior to making their purchases ~ not after an item is received, lost or damaged. We are not in a position to negotiate our policies if the buyer claims to have been "unaware" before making their purchase. This policy is strictly enforced: therefore, make sure you are comfortable with it before placing your order.

 

 

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS AND SHIPMENT POLICIES: 

 

All International orders over $100 are FINAL once payment is processed. What this means is ~ International orders over $100 CANNOT be cancelled once they have been processed onto a credit card. We will REQUIRE Registered Mail Service on all International orders over $50.00.  The cost of REGISTERED MAIL SERVICE will be calculated at $4.35 for the first charm and .50 cents per additional charm.  [One Dozen = 12 Charms, etc.]. 

 

CUSTOMS VALUE REPORT:  We are obligated by law to report on the outside of the package the value of the items inside. If your country charges you a tax on the package, we ARE NOT responsible for this. This is a customs regulation/law and we will NOT defraud the customs by indicating anything other than the true value ~ so don't ask us to. If you do not like our company's International Order Policy, please ~ do NOT buy from our company. These policies are STRICTLY enforced.

 

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: As you know, we must complete and attach to all International packages an International Customs Certificate. We must disclose what is inside of the package as well as the value of the item[s] in side. We WILL NOT declare any package as a GIFT, if it is not a gift and we WILL NOT declare the value to be less than the actual value. We will NOT commit fraud on the Postal System SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK US to. If you don´t want to have to pay a tax or duty on your purchase from us, don´t buy from us.

IS THERE A MINIMUM ORDER REQUIREMENT?

We do not have a minimum total order requirement; however, some individual charms may have minimum quantity requirements.

CAN I GET SAMPLES?

Although we do not offer free samples of our charms, we do occasionally have singles available for purchase. Individual charm pricing ranges from $2.00 to $3.85 depending on style and design. Email us your list and we will let you know what is available. 

 

WHAT ARE MY PAYMENT OPTIONS?

We accept Mastercard, VISA, Personal & Business Checks, Bank Certified Checks, Money Orders, and PayPal Electronic Payments in order to avoid increasing our shipping and handling fees, due to high PayPal commissions; we no longer accept PayPal payments for orders over $100. Checks and Money Orders should be made payable to Angelic Impressions (Not to Simply Charming or to Sally Jo Oliver). Once a total amount due is determined through email communication, if you prefer to use a credit card, you may either fax your credit card and shipping information to us at 603-286-8835; email the information to us in two or three separate emails (for security purposes) or telephone us at 603-286-8279.

 

WHAT ARE YOUR SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES?

We ship only through the U.S. Postal Service. To keep our S/H rates down, orders under $50.00 are shipped First Class Mail. Orders over $50.00 are shipped Priority Mail. We do not ship UPS or Federal Express. We do offer EXPRESS MAIL [1-2 day guaranteed delivery] through the USPS. [Customers may request Priority Mail service for orders under $50.00 for an additional fee.]

DO YOU OFFER EXPRESS MAIL?  

U.S.P.S. Express Mail is costly; however, we do recognize customer's occasional need for faster shipment. Please note that Express Mail is not necessarily guaranteed overnight delivery. Some postal zones take two days. This depends on the zone in which you live, which is determined by the post office at time of shipment. Most often orders requesting Express Mail Service require additional shipments for backordered items. Our Express Mail fees are as follows:

HOW DO I KNOW IF YOU HAVE ITEMS IN STOCK?

You are welcome to inquire whether or not an item is in stock; however, just because it is in stock does not necessarily mean that it is available to fill your order. We often have 10 to 15 orders in process along with hundreds of auctions running on internet auction sites. Therefore, items that are in stock at the time of inquiry may already be committed to auctions or orders in process. In such case, we will need to order your items from our suppliers. Delivery timeline is 2-3 weeks.

 

WHAT IS YOUR CHARM SUBSTITUTION POLICY?

Sometimes it is necessary to substitute a single or a few charms in SETS ONLY when the originals pieces are out of stock. This allows us to ship the order faster. If you do not want any substitutions in your sets, you MUST indicate this when placing your order. Substitutions returned after shipment will be subject to a 50% of the GROSS MERCHANDISE VALUE as a restocking fee unless item is defective. This applies to theme sets ONLY. When you order one particular charm
design, we will never substitute without your prior approval.

 

WHAT IF I’M LOOKING FOR A CHARM I DON’T SEE ON THE WEBSITE?

We welcome any special order requests.  If you do not see what you are looking for on our site, please feel free to email your request. We will do our very best to accommodate you.   Please note the return policy below related to special orders.   Specially-ordered items are non-returnable unless defective.

 

I ONLY SEE SILVER/PEWTER COLORED CHARMS-CAN I GET GOLD FINISH? 

All charms, even if pictured in gold, are available in SILVER PEWTER FINISH ONLY unless otherwise stated on the individual charm photo. You may request gold finish; however, minimum quantity requirements may apply.

DO THE CHARMS COME WITH JUMP RINGS?

Jump rings are not automatically included with charm purchases. We do, however, sell them by the ounce. You will find them listed on our homepage under "J".

CAN I RETURN A DISCONTINUED ITEM?

Discontinued items are non-returnable unless defective. If defective, once returned, either a credit memo will be issued (if we have no more of that particular item in stock) or it will be replaced with another item of equal or lesser value. (Buyer's choice).  Please note the return policy below related to the return of discontinued items.

DO YOU OFFER QUANTITY DISCOUNTS?

Due to continuing increases in the price of pewter, in order to keep our costs down; we are no longer able to offer any future discounts.

We regret having to discontinue this service to our customers.

WHAT IS YOUR PRODUCT GUARANTEE?

All items are guaranteed for 30 days of date of invoice against defects.

WHAT IF I NEED TO RETURN AN ITEM?

Any defective item returned within 30 days of invoice date will be replaced for the same or other item of equal or lesser value plus credit for return shipping fees (first class postal rate only). If an item of lesser value is chosen, an "Angelic Impressions" credit toward future purchases will be issued for the difference. Defective
merchandise returned after 30 days will be subject to a 50% of the GROSS MERCHANDISE VALUE as a processing fee/return processing fee. Return shipping fees will not be refunded after 30 days. All items must be returned in their original packaging with a copy of the original invoice. [This does not apply to items received too late for an event.].  Non-defective items returned will be refunded 50% of the GROSS MERCHANDISE VALUE less any shipping/handling and insurance charges.

WHAT IF I WISH TO CANCEL AN ORDER OR ITEMS WITHIN AN ORDER?

Any defective item returned within 30 days of invoice date will be replaced for the same or other item of equal or lesser value plus credit for return shipping fees (first class postal rate only). If an item of lesser value is chosen, an "Angelic Impressions" credit toward future purchases will be issued for the difference. Defective merchandise returned after 30 days will be subject to a 50% of the GROSS MERCHANDISE VALUE as a processing fee/return processing fee. Return shipping fees will not be refunded after 30 days. All items must be returned in their original packaging with a copy of the original invoice. [This does not apply to items received too late for an event.].  Non-defective items returned or cancelled items within an already-processed order will be refunded 50% of the GROSS MERCHANDISE VALUE less any shipping/handling and insurance charges

WHAT IF MY CHECK IS RETURNED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT FUNDS?

A $20.00 Service Charge will apply to all checks returned due to insufficient funds. In addition, the total order amount plus service charge will be due payable by Money Order ONLY within ten days of customer notification.

CAN I RETURN SPECIAL ORDERS AND DISCONTINUED ITEMS?

When we provide a special order for a customer upon their request, (items we do not ordinarily carry on our website), ALL SALES ARE FINAL unless merchandise is defective. Any item that has been discontinued is also non-returnable unless defective. If an item is defective, we will either replace it free of charge or issue a credit if it has been discontinued. (We do not offer refunds on special ordered or discontinued items). Defective item(s) must be returned in their original packaging with copy of original invoice before a replacement will be made. Return shipping fees will be refunded.

 

WHAT IF I WANT TO BUY LESS THAN A DOZEN OF SOMETHING -OR- ONE PARTICULAR CHARM SHOWN ONLY IN A SET?
As you will see on each charm link, we sell our designs by the
dozen [or by the theme set]. Individual charms within a theme set
are also available by the dozen. We will also accommodate orders for
less than a dozen; however, the individual pricing is much higher
than purchasing in lots of 12.  Individual pricing ranges from
$2.00 to $3.85
PER CHARM. The reason for this is....we buy each
design from our supplier "By the Dozen."  When a customer wants
less than 12 of any one design, we have to break up one lot to
accommodate that order.  In such a case, we are left with two or
three charms that we may or may not be able to sell to
anyone.  In many cases, we cannot sell the left over 'single'
charms.  This also means that if you order 20 of something, you
will be invoiced for the first 12 charms at the "Price per Dozen" and
the other 8 charms at "Individual Charm Pricing".  You could end
up paying much more for individual charms than you would
pay if you bought an entire dozen. 

If you have any questions, PLEASE ASK BEFORE making your
purchase.  We do not accept returns and do not offer refunds
because of pricing.   This information is here for you to read prior to
shopping.  Upon receipt of your order, we will assume that you
have read and have agreed to these pricing terms.

 

 

DO YOU OFFER RUSH SERVICE AND WHAT IS YOUR DELIVERY TIMELINE?

By requesting Rush Service, this simply means that we will ship any "in stock" items as soon as possible. All out of stock items will be backordered. A special Rush Service handling fee of $2.00 will be charged in addition to the regular applicable shipping/handling and insurance fee. This service places your order ahead of others who may have ordered the same products. It does not necessarily mean that your item is in stock and will be shipped immediately. Please be aware that we do not guarantee delivery of any shipment by a customer's own personal deadline. We will always do the very best we can; however, we distribute for eight different wholesale companies throughout the U.S., and sometimes they backorder items on us as well. We will ship backordered items just as soon as we receive them. Therefore, if you have a special event with a scheduled date, we suggest ordering at least 6-8 weeks in advance. Delays and backorders are unforeseen and beyond our control. Orders cancelled or items returned because they were not received by a customer’s own personal deadline will be subject to a return fee of 45% of the gross value of the item being returned. [No shipping fees will be refunded.]

We are a small company and we simply cannot absorb the expenses involved in ordering something for a customer who did not allow sufficient time for their order to be processed and shipped and then having to ship it back to the supplier. We have to pay our suppliers upfront for these charms, and if we return undamaged goods to them, they charge us a re-stocking fee. If you want to elect Rush Service, You MUST request it at time of placing order. We do not automatically apply this service if you do not specifically request it. If a
RUSH SERVICE item is placed on backorder, the $2.00 Rush Service fee will be refunded.

The Rush Service will automatically be added to all orders shipped by Express Mail.
